Did anyone watch this? I binged it over the weekend and it was pretty good. Reminds me of watchmen kindve and X-Men mixed. Pretty close adaptation of the crazy comics. |

Just finished season 2. It’s an okay show. It’s watchable, uh aside from Ellen Page . Netflix should try getting new upcoming actresses and not boring ones with little talent or range.
To me Klaus is the best character in the show. He’s funny as hell and has personality as a character, which is better than Diego or Luther (Tom Hopper is a good actor IMO). 5 is also excellent as a character, but the actor who plays him isn’t as good as the one who plays Klaus. It’s starting to get weird though, especially with Reggie

Just finished season one. 8 out of 10. Not too bad. First season is predictable (somewhat) but they seem like they can go alot of directions in S2 and beyond due to the time travel element.
Luther is just a stupid character. You know the Clark Kent good ole boy routine. Yawn. Diego character is just constant eye rolling for me. I warmed up to Klaus once towards the end of S1. I actually thought Vanya's character was well done (most of you hated her) Five is great, one of the best parts about the show. Pretty weak acting in this show though, except for FIVE and the black hollywood girl. Nonetheless I find shows with people with powers who aren't full fledged superheros interesting. Can't wait for S2. Oh yeah, Kill off Mary J Blige and make Hazel a bigger part of the show. Hopefully he becomes a quasi good guy.

You guys said you liked S2 better than S1? S2 E1 and E2 so far have been pretty disappointing. It would have been much interesting if

Yep Netflix expects you to binge 2-3 hours at a time so by the 4th episode it'll get interesting or be shitty throughout

Overall I liked UA. I think the first episode of S1 is very good, put a lot of mystery and intrigue out there but then didn't really deliver on the next few episodes, before picking up again towards the end - they just got too bogged down in the characters back story and didn't progress the "current day" plot enough for episodes maybe 2-5 ish. The actual S1 ending was disappointing, as I agree the "twist" was very predictable and nothing was resolved for the season finale so it left me a little disappointed. The actual run up to the finale over the last few episodes was enjoyable though. Agree with most that S2 was better, pacing was better as they didn't have to spend too long on backstory for the characters. I like how quirky it was, the styling and the humour. I agree there's nothing original there but that doesn't bother me if its done well, it's pretty rare that something truly original comes along and impresses me these days. |

Then again, I probably gave them too much credit in episode 1 for using 'Picture Book' in the soundtrack...

I just finished episode 4 and so far I’m not a huge fan. I actually liked the first season, minus Page.

I think this series would have been far more entertaining had it debuted in 2007 instead of 2019 because it just feels stale, old and unsatisfying in an age where Marvel (and to a lesser extent, DC) films rule the entertainment world.

Season 2 just tried to do the same bullshit. They didn’t further anyone’s story the entire season. The Handler was just annoying. Lila was just annoying until the end and even then....her shit was just a WTF moment. Luther didn’t do shit. Allison didn’t do shit. Diego got more annoying. Klaus, Ben and Five were good in the first season but were meh in the second. Vanya ****ing sucks. |

Even the greatest actors in the world can't do anything if the story and script are garbage, so expecting these actors to somehow make the source material better is impossible. |

So tried giving this piece of shit a shot with the new season. Big storyline is Ellen Paige’s character changing from Vanya to Viktor and accepting her bc she transitioned in real life. I made it to the beginning of episode 2.

I don't care if Page wants to be a boy or a girl, but if you sign up to play a female charcter, play a female character. If you can't stand playing a female character then just step down from the part.
